NOT SO CLEVERLEY

UNCLE SAM

Having already been booked for diving, Ramirez needlessly hacked down Pugh to earn his second caution.

Pugh then celebrated his 250th league appearance for Bournemouth with a stunning goal on 65 minutes before Daniels danced round several defenders to rifle home from 20 yards.

FACTS, STATS, GOALS & LOLS

THE entire stadium gave a moving minute’s applause for former Middlesbrough defender Ugo Ehiogu, who tragically died after suffering a cardiac arrest at Tottenham’s training ground at the age of 44. Ehiogu won the League Cup with Boro in 2004 and their fans chanted his name to the rafters.

CALLUM CHAMBERS was welcomed back to the Middlesbrough starting line-up. The on-loan Arsenal defender had been sidelined for nine weeks with a foot injury.

BOURNEMOUTH play lovely football and it was a wonderful one-two Marc Pugh played with Charlie Daniels before crossing for Joshua King to slam home the opener, his 14thgoal of the season.

SERVES you right Gaston Ramirez – getting sent off. First he was booked for an outrageous dive to try to con ref Graham Scott into awarding a penalty and then picked up a second yellow for a late lunge at Marc Pugh. Cheats never prosper.

BENIK AFOBE really has grown in the second half of this season and he ruthlessly punished Boro by scoring his third goal in six games.

CHARLIE DANIELS completely fooled Boro when he picked up a quick free kick from Ryan Fraser, evaded a couple of challenges before striking home.

MIDDLESBROUGH fans can start planning those trips to Doncaster and Brentford next season – they are doomed.
